EFCC revealed reasons why they broke into Dorathy Bachor's house at 5am

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 11:30 PM PDT

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC has reacted to claims by former Big Brother Naija housemate, Dorathy Bachor, that her house was broken into by its operatives.

Recall that earlier today, Dorathy took to her Instastories to call out the agency after its operatives allegedly broke down the door of her apartment in the early hours of today while on the trail of a suspected fraudster. Read here.

Reacting to Dorathy's claim, EFCC in a statement released this afternoon, said its operatives broke into the house because they refused to open the door. The statement reads

The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has been drawn to a post on Instagram by one Dorothy Bachor, alleging that operatives of the Commission broke into her home in the early hours of today, 23rd August, 2021

The Commission can confirm that operatives from the Lagos Command of the Commission, acting on verified intelligence, executed a Search Warrant at a block of flats located in the Lekki area of Lagos on Monday, 23rd August, 2021 during which nine internet fraud suspects were arrested.

Ms. Bachor's apartment happened to be one of the flats in the building. EFCC operatives had knocked on her entrance door, identified themselves as being from the Commission on a mission to execute a Search Warrant. But they were refused entry, for several minutes by Bachor's sister. The operatives were left with no choice than to force their way in, lest suspects escape or destroy vital evidence.

It is important to state that law abiding citizens have no reason to refuse the execution of a validly obtained Search Warrant. And, contrary to the information making the rounds in the social media, Ms. Bachor was not present during the operation and the anti- EFCC stories about her coming out half-naked among other fantastical details appear to have been invented to fit the pattern she and other internet-fueled stars so desperately want to push about the EFCC.

It is important to reiterate that nine alleged internet fraud suspects were apprehended in the block of flats housing Ms. Bachor's apartment.

BBNaija 2021: Tega Explained About Her Expectations From Her Budding Fanbase

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 10:00 PM PDT

Mother, wife, and BBNaija 'Shine Ya Eye' housemate, Tega has made known her expectations from fans after eviction

Tega opened up to co-housemates Queen and Nini and revealed that she expects her fanbase to surprise her with a car and a house upon her exit from the house. "I just want to come out to a car and house," Tega said.


The actress and mom of one, made the revelation during a chat with co-housemates Queen and Nini amid a conversation about fan expectations.

While spectacular gifts like cars and houses are surprisingly not new with the Big Brother Naija fanbase, it is unclear if Tega has garnered as much religious following these past weeks since the new season kicked off.
 
Over the years, fans of former housemates have gone on to surprise their favourites with brand new cars, keys to apartments or landed property.

Recall newly evicted housemate, Princess was reported to have gotten a brand new car from fans. The reality star has, however, debunked the rumour as an 'audio car' which was never made known to her team.

Actress, Funke Akindele -"why she rushed into my first marriage"

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 07:00 AM PDT

Popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele has revealed why she rushed into her first marriage with Adeola Kehinde Oloyede.

Recall that the mother of two in an earlier report had surfaced to warn people about the dangers of rushing into marriage. Using herself as a case study, she stressed that if one rushes into marriage, there are great chances of rushing out also.

Speaking with the popular celebrity interviewer, Chude Jideonwo, Funke Akindele revealed that she rushed into marriage due to pressure from family members and the excitement of having children.

Funke urged young people to learn from her story and take things bit by bit when it comes to marriage.

Funke Akindele's marriage with Kehinde hit the rock in 2013 and she later got married to the Nigerian rapper, JJC Skillz.


In her words:

"The only reason why i would share this with you is to encourage ladies out there that are in a rush to get married. The ones that feel bad and are pressured to get married. Calm down, take your time. If you rush in, you will rush out."

"I don't wanna drag anybody. I'll talk about me. I just wanted to get married. Children, pressure and all that. The marriage ended in a bad way. I was filming when someone called and told me. I wanted to die. I cried and lost a lot of deals."

"I survived that period by channeling my pain into work. I was collecting every script from the East and acting. "

"I rushed into the marriage out of pressure and it didn't end well"

"@officialefcc You now break into people's houses and jump estate fences all in the name of doing your job.

Bishop Oyedepo –Earphones Are Designed By Devil To Block Your Way Forward In Life

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 12:30 AM PDT

General overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide (a.k.a. Winners' Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo has spoken against the usage of earphones and phones during church service, saying that it is a tool the devil created to block people from hearing God's word.

During a church service, he said to his congregation;

"We live in a very rowdy time. Young generation, please listen to me. All these things you plug in your ear is to block your way forward. It is designed by the devil to block your way forward. No time to hear from God. Many have never heard anything from God. They even plug it in anywhere, on the streets. Noise, noise, noise! Zero access to divine guidance. Noise in the morning, afternoon, night.

We had a situation in South Korea, I saw it in one publication. Now 10,000 Churches were said to close down within 10 years, an average of 1,000 Churches per year.
Why? Children, young people will sit down in Church (with earphones): don't hear nothing Sir.
In fact Service would end, we were told and they won't know until they look around and see there is nobody around. Then they will leave. It is as terrible as that.
The devil wants to destroy the fate of the future generation. Very soon, he wants to wipe away the Bible hard copy from your hand so you can be browsing nonsense even in Church. Nonsense in Church.
You will think they are writing what you are saying? No.
(Demonstrates someone busy on mobile device), he hears Amen, (echoes) Amen (absentmindedly)."
